That Graffin's book tour coincides with a Bad Religion jaunt confirms it: This man is going to vacuum as much meaningful experience out of life as he possibly can.Īnd Graffin wants the same earthly happiness for us. On Bad Religion's seminal 1988 album Suffer, thesaurus-wielding frontman Greg Graffin offered this decidedly straightforward declaration of empiricist independence: "Hey, I don't know if the billions will survive, but I'll believe in God when one and one is five." A fairly pedestrian gob of punk ambivalence, really, but as we learn in Anarchy Evolution (It Books, 304 pages, $22.99), Graffin's autobiography-cum-evolution primer, such sentiments were (and still are) only the whipping tail end of Graffin's academic pursuits, which now find him balancing his legendary band's touring and recording schedule with a part-time gig teaching life sciences and paleontology at UCLA.
